Thirty + Years Of Hookin'
Some thirty odd years ago, I was a new mother with an infant son who placed the ususual newborn constraints upon my free time. This is "Mousie".

Oddly, or not so oddly, it was crochet that finally helped me turn around and climb back out of my funk.

Paying It Forward.....
Pursuant to the post yesterday, about the Paying It Forward challenge, I ended up with SEVEN, instead of five giftees. Poor Fritzsmomma was so pathetic, I just had to include her. The poor woman was away at a football game when I posted my challenge, and her team lost. OOOHH! Boo hoo! How could I not compensate the poor dear for her ignominious ( Read more... ) -
